I am going to change the insides of my computer to a more high end system. I still need a motherboard, can someone please recommend me a good motherboard that is compatible with 45nm CPU's out of the box(like the E8400) and DDR3 memory. Heres the system so far:

A p45 would. Give you crossfire for a reasonable price as well. Most boards released in the last 4-5 months in the p45/x38/x48 category would be able to do 45nm out of the box. Most others should too, but if you get one that's been around for a while it's possible it will come w/ the old bios.

You know what i may just go with a good DDR2 motherboard. It will save me alot of money on memory. But whats a good DDR2 board that supports 45nm and my RAM(the ones in the system specs) out of the box? For a good price.

If you don't plan on Crossfire, a good newer revision P35 or a P45 board would do you fine.
